oxford house-in terms of when a person goes to an oxford house, since it's such a good model, do theylready have a job? does the oxford model provide the jobs for the person, or are you sending them out and saying, you've got to go out and you've got to find a job? basically, when you come to an oxford house, employment is not a mandatory thing. you don't have to have a job. obviously, being that oxford house is self-supported and self-run, they must at some point in time be able to financially maintain their membership. it's a membership situation. what we found is that, a lot of times, especially with the homeless, what we don't have is immediate funds availability to move into an oxford house. that's something which we work with samhsa and other state and local agencies to try to procure funds to allow the homeless, just to subsidize them for a month or so, to give them that, that time to get comfortable, get the support structure, then we have a lot of resources. one of the things which we're doing in oxford house is we're creating a member resource directory for all of our member

robert, in terms of the oxford house, at this point does oxford house offer families an opportunity to come together, or is it mostly targeting a gender definition of male and female homes? yes, mostly they are targeting male or female homes. we do have a couple. there's not many. we want to get more. funding is always an issue in regards to women with children. we're actually also looking at the model of men with children, because there's a lot of men out there that have taken the responsibility for their children. and the oxford environment obviously offers a lot of support, and the few homes that we do have, the individuals that are there with their children thrive. they thrive tremendously, because they do have that support, and they do have their family with them, so they're better able to concentrate on their recovery. dr. clark, what have we learned in our unit, our chab unit-and you might want to explain what chab stands for-in terms of treating homelessness? i think the issue is that samhsa has several approaches to addressing the full spectrum of homelessness. there's support

well, just the partnership that we at oxford house are starting to establish, and have established with the various justice agencies and social agencies, is, is paramount, and especially in, in providing the service of dealing with the homelessness, especially after treatment, because a lot of times people aren't aware, when they come out of, of jail or treatment centers, they aren't aware. so we find, as you say, we're going into these agencies, doing presentations, making them aware, and at the same time providing them with that opportunity for peer-to-peer support, for housing, to repair their lives. you know, i-we have a homeless ministry in my church that i go to, and i often see even family members trying to do outreach when we have special suppers, and they come in. if i had a person that had a homeless problem, what resources are available for me, or what should i do in that situation, dr. milby? i think the first thing is to, you know, if you discover someone is at risk for becoming homeless or they're initially homeless, to, if you don't know the resources yourself, get them t

this is where the oxford house, you know, i was there at a meeting of theirs, and-and it's-it's a marvelouscept. it really provides the housing, they are self-managing, and they get work, and then they pay the rent. right, alexandre?

houses were communicating with me. they were sending messages "you are special, you are especially bad. look, see, you must fine." it was very scary. when i got to oxford i kind of officially broke down and that's the second period. i started out looking like depression with mild paranoid features but overtime developed into more of a thought disorder than a mood disorder and i was hospitalized the first year for a month, the second year for four months. by the second hospitalization i was having really frank psychotic thoughts like beings in the sky were putting thought miss my head commanding me to do things like in the hospital that there were tunnels underneath the hospital and hurt myself and things like that. they sent know a psychoanalyst which i think was a precious idea that it would help me because it's been enormously helpful. and during that phase i was not on medication. two things happened. my psychotic symptoms got worse. the positive symptoms got worse. so i was like living in the land of psychosis 80% of the time. >> rose: during the analysis it got worse? >> yes. but the negative symptoms got better. i started being able to relate to

oxford university press in the year 2005. appiah's textbook called thinking it through published in 2003 is a standard introduction for students of contemporary philosophical thought. his 1992 book, and my father's house, which i confess is my favorite is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary african but as geographically specific and globally connected. "cosmopolitanism" "cosmopolitanism" describes a pragmatic and wholly ethical philosophy of how we can get along in our globalized interconnected but also divided world. appiah's work including three smart and entertaining mystery novels is discipline crossing and is first and last deeply invested in human rights and individual liberty. the honor code brings obvious concerns to the question of how moral progress happens. he looks at successful campaigns against practices now considered abhorrent, foot binding in china for example or duels in the aristocratic britain and most powerfully for me, slavery in the british empire and the united states. and through intricate and eliminating inquiry, he helped us to understand the role that the appeals honor plays and what he rightly calls moral revolution. the honor code has received high pra

then at noon, on c-span 1, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the house, and c-span2, gavel-to- gavel coverage of the opening day of the senate. carl in oxford massachusetts. democrat. caller: good morning, an eye on the air? -- am i on the air. i want to make a comment about the reading of the constitution. i think it is a good idea to have a periodical reading of the constitution and the declaration of independence, but in a sense it is just words on the page. like the bible. you can have different people reading the same thing and they would, with different interpretations. it will just add to the confusion and gridlock, i think. that is my comment. host: bob cusack? guest: sales of the constitution have gone up. the republican base has been fired up. we saw that in november. this is something that i think will be continuing, what is constitutional, what is not. you hear from the supreme court, critics of the supreme court or the legislative or executive branch on regulations, you are going to far, it is unconstitutional. we really have not seen this for quite some time, this emphasis on the constitution and certainly the reading of it in
